[QUOTE="hoopsfan47, post: 1446743, member: 4716"] # 8 is the key for this team. It is a team that is growing and getting better....over a rotation of 10-11 guys. To maintain the defensive intensity on both ends, teams cannot rely on a short bench. Having dependable players 11 deep allows them all to play at max effort. Hope we have 4 bigs plus Higgs next year because Kofi will not be able to play more than 15 minutes to start and not likely ever more than 25 if he needs to run. Kane will become a growing contributor over time and who knows what Jan. will bring...but he better be in shape unless he likes getting splinters in his rear from bench sitting (I know....they sit on padded chairs, but you should get the idea). Georgi seems to be able to run all night and that is what it takes. Love that guy. And from Higgs HS video, he loves to run too. Hope he can play sometime soon. But from a lineup of 2.5 bigs to 5 who can all contribute, there is some huge upside. [/QUOTE]
